Request for favorite quotes!

Pages

After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

We're doing some late Summer renovations at The Cult and one of the sections we would like to improve upon is our Book sections. We never had a great Quotes addition to each book section. Rather, I had to do outside links to other fan pages that had compiled their list of quotes. But many of these fan sites are no long gone, rendering the link defunct on our end.

So we need you to help us out! Everyone post their favorite FIGHT CLUB quotes in this thread as replies. After a week or so, we'll take all the quotes and compile them a new quotes sub-section for the respective master section.

Jack: "You're a tourist. I saw you at melanoma, tuberculosis and testicular cancer."
Marla: "I saw you practicing this...
Jack: "Practicing what?"
Marla: "Telling me off. Is it going as well as you hoped?"

"I felt like putting a bullet between the eyes of every Panda that wouldn't screw to save its species. I wanted to open the dump valves on oil tankers and smother all the French beaches I'd never see. I wanted to breathe smoke." -Jack

"If I did have a tumor, I would name it Marla. Marla, the little scratch on the roof of your mouth that would heal if only you would stop tonguing it, but you can't." -Jack

"We are a generation raised by women.
I'm wondering if another woman is the answer." -Tyler

"It's a bridesmaid's dress. Someone loved it intensely for one day, then tossed it. Like a Christmas tree -- so special, then, bam -- it's abandoned on the side of the road, tinsel still clinging to it. Like sex crime victims, underwear inside-out, bound with electrical tape." -Marla

"Man, you've got some fucked up friends.
Limber, though..." -Tyler

"The condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip it on, you dance the night away with a stranger, and then you throw it away - the condom, that is, not the stranger." -Marla

"Do you want to listen and see if my spirit can use the telephone?" -Marla

"In the event of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite
article 'a dildo', never 'your dildo'" -airport security guy

"Marla's philosophy was that she might die at any moment. The only real tragedy, she said, was that she didn't." -Jack

My favourite quote from Fight Club is 'When I pass people in the hall at work, I get totally ZEN right in everyone's hostlie little faces' I think that's the right quote...I laughed my arse off for ages when I first read those lines.

if our fathers are our models for god,and our fathers bail. what does that tell you about god? you have to consider the possibilty that god does not like you,he never wanted you and all probabilty he hates you!

y isn't there neone posting ne fight club quotes....fight club is the movie that got every1 here in the first place...neways all i have to say is that fight club is the greatest movie of all time and there should be 8 pages of quotes here.

"'When a man is hit by lightning,' Tyler says, 'his head burns down to a smoldering baseball and his zipper welds itself shut.'"

"Nothing is static.
Everything is falling apart."

"I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong.
We are not special.
We are not crap or trash, either.
We just are.
We just are, and what happens just happens.
And God says, 'No that's not right.'
Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything."

i love the whole speach tyler gives at fight club, it shows the first real time he leads the guys, he gets them riled up and shows them wuts wrong with their lives
so i typed it out

" I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who ever lived. I see all this potential -- and i see it squandered
God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas and waiting tables; slaves with white collars.
Advertisements have us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need.
We are the middle children of history, men. No purpose, no place. We have no great war, no great depression.
Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised by television to believe
that one day we'll all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars -- but we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

my other favorite is wut i like to call the fight club creed:

"the liberator who destroyed my property has re-aligned my paradigm of perception

I reject the basic assumptions of civilization, especially the importance of material possession"

and one more, wen they're in the car

"Hitting bottom is not a weekend-retreat, it's not a goddamn seminar. Stop trying controlling everything and
just let go. Let go!"

now can anyone get me the warning thing before the movie starts?
mostly it tells you you shouldnt be reading it but im curious...and my dvd player wont pause it there

"I wanted to destroy everything beautiful i'd never have. Burn the Amazon rain forests. Pump Chlorofluorocarbons stright up to gobble the ozone layer. Open the dump valve on supertankers and uncap offshore oil wells. I wanted to kill all the fish i couldn't afford to eat, and smother the French beaches i'd never see. I wanted the whole world to hit bottom. Pounding that kid, i really wanted to put a bullet between the eyes of every endangered panda that wouldn't screw to save its species and every whale or dolphin that gave up and ran itself aground. Don't think of this as extinction. Think of this as downsizing. For thousands of years, human beings had screwed up and trashed and crapped on this planet, and now history expected me to clean up after everyone. I have to wash out and flatten my soup cans. And account for every drop of used motor oil. And now i have to foot the bill for nuclear waste and buried gasoline tanks and landfilled toxic sludge dumped a generation before i was born."___Narrator of Fight Club.

if our fathers are our models for god,and our fathers bail. what does that tell you about god? you have to consider the possibilty that god does not like you,he never wanted you and all probabilty he hates you!

Has anyone ever told this to a christian? i actually made a guy cry with that one.

Dude, you're wrong. In the book with the Pitt/Norton cover, page 31, line 21-22. Keep in mind that I AM aware that Chuck re-uses a varied version of the line throughout the rest of the book (i.e. page 143, last line, is the one you quoted).

I finished Fight Club a couple days ago and am a big fan of the movie. The main reason I like it so much is because it has so many good quotes and really makes you think, it has to beone of the greatest books of all time.

So.... I was just wondering what your favorite quote was (book or movie).
Mine would have to be the part where Tyler is saying how "you are not a unique snowflake you are the same organic material as everyone else" cant remember his exact words.

maybe if you actually have the deceny to find the real quote we will pay attention to you.

ouch. sting. please don't pay attention to the mock man. he's just jealous. furthermore, he claims to be located in canada. i mean, seeing as he's admitted that, you've got plenty of reasons to hate him.

joshie babee, i like that quote myself very much also.

me, i like sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. (and for my canadian doughnut hole that's from the book, owl books, 1997, pg 69 and the goddamned film).

;)

yes

If my name were FPS King

I would be completed.

Best quote:

"You have to be prepared for the possibility that God does not like you..."

maybe if you actually have the deceny to find the real quote we will pay attention to you.

i dont think i like you much anymore. youre mean. so maybe if you had the DECENY to lay the fuck off and be a help instead of a hinderance, you wouldnt be considered such a fuckrod (at least in my book)

fave quote to follow.
